Use to do clerical work for a chemical company that specialized in pool chemicals way back in the day. They were quite expensive back then I can hardly imagine what they charge now days. I always wanted a pool, been a huge dream of mine, we were lucky when my kids were still young to have a city pool across
the street in the park. People I worked with use to always tease me about swimming in a public
pool....up until their's felt like a bathtub on a ninety degree day, ours was a cold water pool built decades before that I had swam in as a child growing up. Then the state came and made them shut it down said it was no longer in code. With a lot of push from neighbors the city built a new one, it was nice while it lasted. The old pool cost ten cents when I was a child, fifty cents when my kids swam there, after the installation of a new one the price went up to a buck and three for adults so it lost a lot of attendance and they ended up closing it during a budget crisis. I went out and got one of those 18x4 foot ring tube pools and we had a lot of fun with that pool. I loved the challenge of keeping it balanced and going out there every morning and cleaning it out, I'd come home at night, hop on a float and float around in circles looking at the stars in the sky...I think I was so much more content in that small space of a pool then I had ever felt comfortable swimming with all the neighbors.

I couldn't imagine swimming in a public pool after learning how to clean a pool. Now that I know how things work, I can see how filthy those pools were. Not to mention how overchlorinated they are and how they made me feel after. I can't even tell our pool has chlorine in it, I can swim with my eyes open and don't come out feeling dried out.

Sounds like a lot of work...
In the mean time it's freezing cold here and I have absolutely no desire to jump into a pool be it green or clear, unless it is a hotspring

No, unfortunately, I bought some pizza floats and I had the same disappointment.

That is good you were able to bring that pool water back to normal. I'm going to have to wash out my filter soon and recharge with new DE.

Bleach... Didnt think of that. Did you ever have any skin issues afterwards. How long does it take to evaporate

Bleach, Chlorine, Shock is all the same chemical, just different percentages.

All pools require chlorine, usually 2-6 parts per million. In fact, all drinking water is actually cleaned using chlorine as well.

Aha. So you just blast it hard. Hmm..
I use shock chlorine from time to time but usually the multi tablets do the trick.

Since in Croatia we get about a week or two with temperatures above 40 celsius thats the only time i have problems.
I have around 30 people using the pool which adds to the issue due to added organic matter accumulating.

Say i used bleach as you do during those weeks. How fast does the chlorine evaporate if used in such high concetration.
